From: James Hughes <james.hughes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 9cc4b7cb86cbcc6330a3faa8cd65268cd2d3c227 upstream The driver was making changes to the skb_header without ensuring it was writable (i.e. uncloned). This patch also removes some boiler plate header size checking/adjustment code as that is also handled by the skb_cow_header function used to make header writable.
